...judge, who was appointed by President Harding to New York's Southern District bench in 1923, presided over more than 1,000 cases in 31 years, including the second perjury trial of Alger Hiss in 1949-50; of a heart attack; on a golf course in Madison, Conn...
Floating Cabins. In Winsted, Conn, (pop. 9,000), the serene little Mad River suddenly smashed through the town and isolated it for two days. In Farmington, Conn., little Patricia Ann Bechard drowned when a rescue boat capsized while her horrified mother, Mrs. Leon Bechard, clung to her baby daughter and watched helplessly.

Horton of Los Angeles, won the six-meter class race. Some Cowes oldtimers complained that British yachting's golden days were over. True, all the great sailing dinosaurs like the 100-1 30-ft. transatlantic "J-Boats" of the Liptons and the Sopwiths had been killed by war and taxes...
